And this morning, the first 10 minutes of the ABC show was dedicated to the 36-year-old Republican as she spoke fondly about her time alongside Barbara Walters, Joy Behar, Whoopi Goldberg and Sherri Shepherd.

"Thanks for everyone who's been out there watching. I wasn't the first person to sit in this chair and I will certainly not won't be the last person here," she said. "The last 10 years have been nothing short of extraordinary and I wholeheartedly wish the next person or cohost that sits here an extraordinary set of years to come of their own."

Watch the video above to see her special message to Barbara.

As for her replacement, there's no official word yet -- but Brooke Shields and Jenny McCarthy have been rumored to take her place.

Both Barbara and Joy are leaving the show soon as well. Will it be the same without them?
